Devin Hester named semifinalist for Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2022

As the number of HOF or borderline HOF candidates that played under Lovie in Chicago increases, is it an indictment on him that he couldn't win more?

So far we have Urlacher and Orlando Pace(who played for Lovie for 1 year in 2009) are in. Julius Peppers, a Bear from '09-'13 is a given. Ruben Brown('04-'07), may be in consideration. As may be Lance Briggs, Greg Olsen, Charles Tillman. Miniscule chance that Robbie Gould, Matt Forte and Thomas Jones get considered. I like Lovie, but when you consider there's a chance that when all is said and done, he could end up possibly having coached as many HOFers as Ditka(Payton, Dent, Singletary, Covert, Hampton), should the LovieBears have won more? Before y'all bring up the qb position, let me address you to the 2 Beltway teams-Washington and Ravens, they have 5 combined Lombardis with not a single potential HOF qb who won those games-Theirsmann, Williams,Rypien, Dllfer, Flacco.

Pace was cooked when he got to Chicago and played like it. Olsen was good but not a HOFer. Forte is borderline, Thomas Jones isn’t but honestly speaking, the Bears fucked up by drafting Ced Benson (RIP) when they had a really good back already in Jones, and then letting him go to make Benson the starter and he was bad in Chicago (played much better in Cincy).

Bears never could get the offense right under Lovie, and then, like now, the line, outside of Olin Kuertz, held them back, as well as the saga of good Rex vs bad Rex, and “I can make every throw and play” Jay.

Based on this week’s revelation that the call to play Fields came from the top, have to figure Lovie also had some undue influence from up there as well.
